Great dress, fun, bright, and flattering

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress for my aunt's winter wedding reception. It is bright and fun and made of a gorgeous material. I loved the subtle pattern on the dress. The cut was very flattering and could work for a range of body types. One thing--the back is low cut so a traditional bra cannot be worn underneath without showing. GREAT DRESS! Very happy with the overall RTR experience. Will rent again.

Hot color, hot dress!

Such a gorgeous color! Loved the pink and it fit like a glove, hugged in all the right places. Pretty fitted in the bust - keep in mind if you have a large chest! I didn't even need a bra with this one. Slight stretch made the hips super comfortable. Fun spring/summer style - perfect for a winter vacation!

The fabric on this dress is beautiful and is high quality. I have wider hips and this dress looks awesome if you are standing still, but I could tell that when I hit the dance floor that it would ride up around my hips and I did not want to be tugging on it all night. It was my back-up so I chose not to wear it to a wedding. You cannot wear a regular bra because it dips in the back, which is very pretty. I have a round butt and it fit perfectly fine over the butt and I would not recommend for people with tummies. It is pretty unforgiving in the tummy region.

True to size fit. Nice length- hits several inches above knee. Love the colors and the fabric is very flattering- no "body contouring garments" needed. I really like the cut of the dress, though you can't wear a traditional bra since the back is cut lower. I loved the slip like lining edged in lace- so feminine. This was actually my 2nd choice of dresses. The Shoshanna Candle Apple Dress in Green had been damaged by the previous renter and was unavailable. Two small details that I was not pleased with....the straps were a little big but this is not uncommon for me; the zipper did not have an eye & hook at top which I think it could use. Of course, these are not things RTR is not responsible for. One small detail that could be corrected is the pull on the zipper was worn (you could see the silver metal under pink paint in spots). This is really a small and menial point, but I am all about details especially on a nice dress. Overall, I would most definitely rent again. How could you not like picking from such an array of dresses, most at a super price; wear & enjoy the dress; and not have to worry one bit about dry cleaning. I also really like the "goody bag" that I received with my rental which is a nice touch.

I wore this to a wedding and it was a hit.

I typically where a size 2 or 4 because of my hour glass figure. I am very small chested and this dress fit me great in the hips and waist but was large in the breast area. It is a very flattering and comfortable.

Comfortable, formal, but fun color perfect for wedding!

Fit well, the only complaint I had was the shoulder straps were a big too large, I would have had them shortened if I owned the dress. I was able to wear a strapless bra, safety pin it in the bag and fashion tape it in the front. I would've gone braless, but I just could fill out the front well enough without a bra. There is a slip that sometimes peeks through, but it has lace and is similar colors so it doesn't look bad, it looks like it might actually be on purpose. The cool thing is that it doesn't appear so in the photos but some of the plam frond stitching is actually metallic thread, which is a nice touch.

Beautiful Dress!

This dress was great! The only negative is that I didnt have a bra that would work with it. You need a plunging neckline bra that also stays low in the back. Loved the free gifts that arrived with my dress as well! Can't wait to rent again!

I wore this dress to my 20yr high school reunion. The dress fit perfectly! I wore the size 0, a 2 would have been too big. I did have to use some fashion tape on my chest and shoulders to keep the straps from falling down. A regular bra will not work with this dress as it is low cut in the front and back. I was going to go braless but I did not fill out the top quite enough so I opted for a backless plunge bra. The material is a little stretchy which makes this dress super comfortable. It is a beautiful color and is very flattering!

Pretty dress!

The color of this dress is very pretty and the cut very flattering. I usually wear a 2 or 4 depending on the dress and the 2 fit great. It is pretty low-cut but the length and material keep it classy :)

Beautiful color, texture and it fit!

My biggest issue with any dress has always been the length. I bought the temporary hem tape but I didn't need to use it so off the bat this is a great length for shorter women. It is definitely form fitting but comfortable. The fabric has a little bit of stretch. If you are small busted you probably will want to wear a padded bra though as the top half of the dress, mainly the chest and straps are a little on the bigger side but it wasn't a huge issue. You will need to buy a bra or a special strap for a normal bra that will hold the strap low in the back so it doesn't show. The color and texture is absolutely beautiful.

Awesome fit and beautiful bright pink color!

The dress fit perfectly and was a beautiful color. I didn't realize the darker pink fans on the dress would be metallic so that was a nice surprise and totally added to the dress. Perfect for the cruise wedding occasion!

The color of this dress is amazing.

I could have gone with the size 2, but it was a little tight on the lower half and bunched up a little when walking. Standing up I didn't have any problems with the dress, but since I am more of a petite size, the dress was a little loose in the top when I sat down. Overall the fit was pretty good, but might be a better dress for someone who is slightly taller.

Beautiful color and super comfortable!

I loved wearing this dress at a friend's outdoor wedding. The cut is flattering, though the low back does require a special bra. I'm usually a 6, but on the hipper side, so found that I needed the 8. The fabric is soft and has some stretch. As a tall girl, I also thought the length was appropriate. One of my favorites!

Loved the vibrant color of the dress, really makes you stand out from crowd!

I reserved this dress for a summer wedding because of the color and the style of the neckline (and how it's a deep V in the back as well). The dresses were in fantastic condition compared to the first rental I received last year so I was pleased about that. I would agree with other reviewers that it is too loose in the bust and doesn't make the girls pop as much as one would think. This is also a great dress for someone with a slimmer figure - I felt a bit self conscious in it being curvy. Overall, if you're thin, tan and have big boobs this is a perfect dress for you.

Since I was using RTR for the first time I ordered this as my back up. I did not wear it to the event but I did really like the dress. Its very form fitting so you need to be comfortable with that. The back is very low so I would not have been able to wear a bra but I felt like the support of the dress might have been enough. If I were to rent it again I would try to find an appropriate backless bra. The color and detail of the dress were stunning. (Pls pardon the no-make up selfie - I should have cropped my face out of the photo)

Beautiful dress, great color, texture, fit and photographs well.

The dress fit true to size maybe a little small, I would go one size up for your backup. I wore a VS convertible bra and adjusted the straps so they were hidden. I ordered two-sided tape to go with the dress, but I didnt need it. Love this dress.

I rented this dress for Mexico, but it really isn't a beach vacation dress. It would be better suited for a party. Although I didn't wear it it's really beautiful on. Be careful if you're busty - it's quite low in the front!

Great option for "rehearsal party"

I rented this for a rehearsal dinner/party for a recent wedding. Beautiful dress, but it runs very narrow in the hips and short in the waist. Fabric turned out to be a little more metallic/shiny than I was expecting.

Loved this dress! Wore this with a nubra and it worked perfectly. Got tons of complements. Rides up a little when dancing, but no big deal. The shoulder straps would probably be a little long for someone with small/narrow shoulders.

Didn't wear the dress, but RTR service was wonderful.

For me, this dress was too big on top and too tight on bottom. I went to the bendel's showroom in NYC, and RTR was able to find me a beautiful dress that fit for no extra charge. Amazing service, as always.

Great dress, lots of compliments on the color and fit!

The stylist comments are correct about the bra, you definitely need a backless bra unless you feel comfortable without one. I marched straight into a lingerie store and they were quickly able to hook me up. I didn't measure myself when ordering the dress originally, so I needed a size smaller (4 vs 6) then was in stock and the bra was key to filling out the chest in the larger size.
The comments also said to order a size larger for your second size, but I found the dress true to size despite my own error in sizing myself. I really loved the color of the dress online and was pleasantly surprised when I saw there was a touch of gold in the fabric. Looked great in photos and appropriate length for a wedding.

Absolutely gorgeous color, flattering curves

Unfortunately, even though I loved this dress I couldn't wear it. Just like all of the other reviews mentioned, the shoulder straps were simply too long. I got it thinking my torso would be long enough to make the adjustment that some other girls had issues with, but it simply wasn't. They fell down constantly and when I sat, because I have a smaller bust, you could see my entire everything. Soooo even though I wanted to love this dress, I had to love it from afar.

Great dress

Wore this for a semi formal dinner. Great color for summer, great fit. I have a larger top and wider rib cage, so had to "size up" on this one, but had no problems otherwise. I am 44, and like length and coverage, and this fit the bill. A little bit of sexy without giving it all away.

This dress was awesome! The subtle shimmer in the pattern makes the dress pop. Like others have commented, the straps were too long. I pinned the dress and wore a low v-neck bra, but it didn't really help.

Beautiful dress - I got a lot of compliments!

It is a very tight dress, so if you aren't comfortable with this you might want to go a size up. I ordered a size 4 and 6, I wore the 6, but I probably would have felt more comfortable in an 8. I wore a stick-on bra with it just to give me a little something in the front (I have a very small chest). I found that I had to keep pulling it down, as it was riding up a bit throughout the night.

A stand-out for sure!

This dress is gorgeous! The color and subtle design make it unique (it even has a bit of shimmer to the thread), and the cut is simply amazing. The top was very fitted, and the fabric thick enough, that I didn't need to use a bra. As per usual with the dresses I get from Rent the Runway, I got a million compliments. I was definitely the belle of the ball in a sea of black.
This dress is perfect if you want to be the center of attention (it was my birthday, so yay!). However, if you're a bit conservative or shy, the plunging neck and the vibrant color might make this dress fall outside your comfort zone. Believe me though, this one is worth that leap. Take it!
